Mazak I-200 ST

[mayday]

any one out there gram one of these yet? We needed machines in a hurry so they had a I200 and an I300. we grabbed them of course.

I'm not sure we need a lower turret but now we have one. I wish it had live tooling but turn only. any examples?

Yes Wes I have been helping someone program one of these. Just like the E serises expect smaller. The W axis is a little different. I do recommend going with the Royal Collet set-up verses the chuck due to the size of the machine you need a good bit of stick out to do postive moves on the main spindle. What size parts and what type of work? I think you could take an E-Series post and make it work just fine for this machine with very little work. The Matrix control is very nice and like the payout of the screen and the buttons. The rounding of the corners makes it look sleek and modern.
